Change of plans.

After the vampire was swallowed by Kamui, Kakashi finally gave in and fell to his knees on the ground.

Placing his hands on his face, Kakashi felt blood running from his left eye and nose.

The damage that Kakashi's body suffered when he had to absorb elemental energy in order to use Kamui was not light.

His body, already injured by the impacts of the vampire's blows, had his situation aggravated by the effort he made when he converted elemental energy into charka.

Kakashi had a bad headache and his vision was blurry.

This hadn't been the first time he used his Kamui, so he was well aware of the side effects, which would be a strong burning sensation in the head and eyes.

This sensation would be accompanied by severe headaches and chakra exhaustion.

All these disadvantages after using this technique were well known to Kakashi, but this time it was completely different, he felt all these sensations intensified.

His head hurt like never before, Kakashi felt as if the blood in his head and eyes were being cooked in real time.

The power of his Kamui was amplified with the aid of elemental energy, but the pain and exhaustion were also amplified.

Few times in his life had Kakashi felt so much physical pain before.

This case was only surpassed by the pain he felt when being constantly tortured by Itachi's genjutsu, but that time the pain didn't come all at once, it was divided into several days.

But this time the pain was condensed, Kakashi felt it all at once, he didn't even expect this kind of result.

Kakashi barely managed to complete his technique, the only thing that kept him awake was his powerful willpower.

Fatigue was spreading throughout his body, Kakashi felt an abnormal physical wear and tear.

He was trying as hard as possible to stay awake, Kakashi knew he couldn't pass out in that place, dangers could still appear at any moment.

Trying to contain the pain he felt, Kakashi took the potions that Yennefer prepared for him with difficulty.

Kakashi couldn't think straight, but he hoped some of those potions would bring him relief.

With the three vials in his hands, Kakashi took them and at once, he became desperate to contain the pain he felt.

The taste of the portions was horrible, they were almost impossible to drink, due to their pungent taste and smell,

But the pain Kakashi felt was so much that he didn't even taste or smell him.

He didn't even notice a message that appeared in his head, warning him that they had passed the third ordeal.

Kakashi wasn't in a position to worry about those matters at that moment, however it wasn't just him who was in trouble at that moment.

Yennefer was also not in good physical shape, after pushing her limit using spells for so long, she became unconscious.

She fainted before witnessing Kakashi's victory, Yennefer was able to see the battle unfolding and could not see the state in which Kakashi was.

Without any support or help from Yennefer, Kakashi would have to recover alone.

Trying to circulate his chakra through his head and eyes, Kakashi hoped to lessen the effects that Magenkyo was having on his body, but his chakra was practically depleted.

This attempt by Kakashi had little practical effect in reducing his suffering, Kakashi would have liked to have prepared something that could help reduce pain.

Unfortunately, this world had limited means to reduce pain, most of the solutions were mixtures that induced sleep or magic.

Kakashi was not in a favorable situation.

The potions didn't help him much with pain control, and since he couldn't use chakra to heal himself, Kakashi would have to endure this pain until he could receive treatment.

His lack of chakra prevented any attempt to heal himself, the only thing he could do at that moment was meditate, to get used to the pain he was feeling.

As it was a new pain that spread throughout his body, Kakashi couldn't get used to it easily.

Kakashi was clearing his mind of the pain, in his meditation he managed to recover a little, the pain was still present, but now it didn't affect him as much.

Even though he was trained to resist the pain of torture, but the pain he felt was unexpected and affected his reasoning ability.

He only managed to get used to the pain when he stopped for a bit and calmed down.

Meditation was what gave him clarity.

Kakashi decided to start his treatment, even if he couldn't get rid of the pain in his body and head, he could at least recover from the external injuries, like the cuts on his back.

With difficulty Kakashi took off his shirt, the adrenaline in his blood had already run out, he was able to feel his injuries better.

Noticing that he had several wounds on his body, Kakashi was careful trying to take off his chain mail.

At the moment, when he was carefully lifting his chain mail, he felt that pieces of his chain mail were stuck in his back wounds.

Kakashi knew he couldn't stay like this, his wound could get infected, he would have to clean the cuts on his back.

Knowing that in that world an infection was something very difficult to treat, due to the lack of technology, Kakashi was aware that he would have to carry out the initial treatment.

Using his headband and silver sword, Kakashi positioned them in a way that reflected the affected area.

Noticing that his wounds were dirty, he knew he would have to clean the affected area.

Kakashi could see his back and very carefully, he began to remove the chain mail, he felt pain from that action, but the pain in his back was irrelevant compared to the pain in his head.

Carefully, Kakashi managed to remove the pieces of mesh bead from his wounds.

Picking up a drink with a high alcohol content, Kakashi removes the cap and then throws the drink onto his back.

Kakashi wanted to get something better for disinfection, but in the city where he was he couldn't find anything better.

He had to be content with what was in his hands.

Taking the bandages from his emergency kit, Kakashi covered his entire wound, he knew he couldn't put back the shirt that was dirty and wet with blood, this could cause infection in his wounds.

Taking out the bottle of alcohol, Kakashi took a large drink, as he had no painkillers or chakra to use jutsus, he would be content with the small relief the drink gave him.

Kakashi looked around, he noticed that there were two open doors in the crypt, one was where he and Yennefer entered and another door was on the opposite side, which should mean they could advance through that location.

He was relieved, at least the pain he was feeling was for a good reason, Kakashi had the expected result, they managed to get through the third ordeal.

Knowing that they went through the ordeal was great news, but that wasn't the most important thing, at that moment Kakashi had to check on Yennefer.

Looking around the place looking for her, Kakashi managed to find her.

Noticing that Yennefer has fainted not far from where he was, Kakashi decides to go to her and check on her physical condition.

As he approached her, Kakashi realized that she was fine and that she was just exhausted and that's why she passed out.

He tried to put Yennefer in her arms, to get her out of that place, but Kakashi was having difficulty doing so.

His goal was to remove himself from that place with Yennefer, Kakashi wanted to go somewhere that had furniture, where he could put her to rest.

Kakashi knew he couldn't advance in that place, in the state he and Yennefer were in, they were exhausted both physically and mentally.

They were far from being in the right physical condition to get into any fight.

He tried to exert his strength to lift Yennefer, but Kakashi realized that his body was in no condition to perform such a feat.

The pain in his head had not abated, and the pain increased when he tried to lift Yennefer.

Kakashi felt that his internal organs were not in good condition, the effort he made when trying to carry Yennefer made the pain in his organs lessen.

Knowing that he would not be able to get her out of that place in those physical conditions, Kakashi tried his best to take Yennefer to the nearest wall, even with the pain he managed to take her to the desired place.

Deciding to lean against the wall supporting his back, he placed Yennefer's head on his thighs, his back hurt, however he knew that this was the best possible position at that moment.

Staying in the middle of the crypt would leave them very exposed, in that place, the two were less visible, and it would be easier for Kakashi to act defensively.

Needing a rest he knew that this was the best action he could take at that moment, he needed to stay awake and observe everything around him, Kakashi would take advantage of those moments of peace to recover as much as he could.

He didn't know when the next threat would appear.

With difficulty, Kakashi picked up a piece of bread and began to eat.

He wanted to speed up his recovery as much as possible and knew that a good way to regain strength was to eat.

Closing his eyes Kakashi, wanting to rest his mind and vision, he focused all his concentration on hearing.

Kakashi wanted to be alert for anything that was approaching where he was.

Trying to resist the urge to sleep, Kakashi tried to hide his mind with something, he knew that sleeping before undergoing the necessary treatment could be deadly.

Yennefer was also in no condition, to protect them, Kakashi would have this responsibility until Yennefer wakes up.

She, even unconscious, was agitated, Yennefer moved uncontrollably while sleeping.

It seemed like she was having nightmares or it could be some adverse effect of his magical exhaustion.

He didn't know which of the two options it was, but Kakashi was trying to calm her down.

Kakashi ran his fingers through Yennefer's unruly black hair, in a gentle way, he wanted her to know that she was protected, and that he was there to help her.

Wanting to convey a sense of security to her, Kakashi caressed her the way Yennefer liked.

That little moment reminded Kakashi of his time in the world of illusions, where he had to spoil Yennefer, she was very attached to him in that world.

'As everything was easier in that world, our enemies were much easier to face, and our time together was calmer.'

Remembering those moments, Kakashi was able to momentarily forget her pain.

His gentle, constant touch seemed to calm Yennefer, her agitation subsided and she slept peacefully across Kakashi's legs.

Kakashi's caresses lasted for hours, until Yennefer showed signs that she was going to wake up.

Slowly opening her eyes, Yennefer was confused by the sight she was seeing, memories began to come back to her.

Yennefer remembered where she was and wanted to get up to see where Kakashi was, but before she could get up.

She felt that her head was on top of something soft, while her hair was gently stroked.

Feeling the caresses on her head, Yennefer discovered where her head was resting, she also knew who was stroking her hair.

A small smile formed on her face, Yennefer was relieved, because if she was feeling Kakashi's gentle touch, it meant they managed to defeat the vampire.

They were no longer in danger, waking up to that good news made her ecstatic, Yennefer closed her eyes and decided that she deserved a little break, she stood still accepting Kakashi's caresses.

Yennefer was feeling a calm and security that she hadn't felt in a long time.

In fact, this could have been the first time in her life that she felt so much safety and affection.

She was feeling at peace, that feeling was so good that Yennefer didn't want to open her eyes.

'I could stay like this forever, this sanction of security and comfort is something addictive, now I understand these clingy and spoiled people who ask for affection and attention from the people they love'.

With her eyes closed and a small smile on her face, she looked like a cat being petted by its human, Yennefer was so comfortable with that situation that she even forgot where they were.

'Every soft touch of your hands is electrifying, I could melt from your touches.'

Kakashi had noticed that Yennefer had already woken up, but decided that she deserved that little moment of pampering, her pain was now more controlled.

As the hours passed, much of her chakra had been recovered, he managed to heal himself with his mystical palm.

Kakashi felt that her life was no longer in danger, so he no longer needed urgent treatment, he could just let Yennefer enjoy it for a while.

Since the only thing Kakashi felt was tiredness and pain in his body, but he knew that these sensations were normal, after all that physical effort he had to make.

Kakashi wasn't doing that just to please Yennefer.

He was also enjoying that feeling of tranquility, Kakashi didn't have many experiences like that in his past life.

Even in times of peace he never had time to make the most of her life.

Spending time with important people was something Kakashi didn't usually do, in Konoha he was someone very busy as a Kage-level Ninja.

Kakashi had many difficult and time-consuming missions, leaving him little time to enjoy life.

So situations like these were very pleasant for him.

"Yen, you sound like a spoiled child," Kakashi said jokingly.

"It seems like I spoiled you too much Yen, but when we go back to the house, I will have to educate you properly", it was a harmonious scene between the two, they had their eyes closed.

The two were just relaxing while feeling that sweet atmosphere.

"You know, Kakashi, I feel like I've worked my whole life without neglect, I believe I deserve this little break", Yennefer didn't care about Kakashi's comments.

She just wanted to be pampered, once in her life.

Taking advantage of that moment, Yennefer decides to joke back: "Kakashi, you know that I'm the adult in the relationship, so you better obey me, otherwise I'll ground you."

"Low blow Yen, you know that for men height is something you can't joke about, you wouldn't want me to ask about your age", Yennefer pinched Kakashi's thigh.

"Even though I'm still young and beautiful, you can't ask about my age, it seems like I'll have to teach you how to treat a lady", Kakashi even forgot about the discomfort she was feeling.

Kakashi was enjoying this conversation, these moments where they could enjoy the moment, without caring about anything else, were rare for them lately.

Their conversation continued, Kakashi and Yennefer talked for several minutes.

That moment flowed pleasantly, they talked about so many things, Yennefer was feeling lighter, they didn't just escape death.

But she also felt that she was closer to her goal, Yennefer was getting closer and closer to the Djin, she felt that there was little left.

Soon she won't need to be so worried about Kakashi's safety.

Even though she didn't want to end that beautiful moment between the two, Yennefer knew she had to get up.

They had already wasted a lot of time in that place, they needed to advance quickly to discover the secrets of the place.

Getting up with a little difficulty, Yennefer became a little disoriented, she had spent a lot of time lying down.

After she recovered she returned her gaze to Kakashi, and took in her condition and body.

Yennefer showed fear and concern on her face, she became agitated and Kakashi noticed.

"I'm fine Yen, you don't need to worry, I just need to eat something and get a good night's sleep, with time I'll be fine again", Kakashi tried to convince Yennefer, but she was still worried.

Yennefer would only calm down, after making sure everything would be okay with Kakashi, she helped him to his feet carefully, fearing that she might end up hurting him even more.

'It seems like every time we have to face an enemy, Kakashi appears injured, the traces of dried blood on his face scared me a lot, if I had known he would be like this I would have looked for another way to give him the vitality of a sorceress' .

Yennefer gently ran her hand over Kakashi's face, wiping away the traces of blood that had dried, below his left eye, nose and mouth, her gentle touches bringing a small smile to Kakashi's face.

Looking at Kakashi's smile, Yennefer felt even more guilty, 'This idiot, even after I tricked him into coming to this dangerous place, he still doesn't blame me, it makes me want to make requests to the Djin even more, I I can't lose him'.

'Kakashi is the only one who wouldn't abandon me, so I can't lose him, Kakashi is my only family.'

After putting him on his feet, Yennefer got a better sense of his physical condition and she didn't like it, his body had small cuts all over and some purple areas.

His wounds appeared to be very painful, although Kakashi showed no reaction when she ran her hand over to check his wounds.

Yennefer knew he was in pain.

Kakashi was very resistant to pain and didn't like her worrying too much, so he often downplayed her injuries and pain to calm her.

She knew that she couldn't completely trust what Kakashi said when it came to her own health and comfort.

After carefully checking Kakashi's entire body, Yennefer decided that it was best for them to leave that place, until they were both completely healed.

Opening a portal she took them back to her room.

Once there she helped Kakashi clean himself up, and then started treating his wounds, Yennefer didn't want to wait much longer to start relieving Kakashi's pain.

Fortunately, her small body had few injuries, and the most serious were the scratches on her back, this was the injury that took the longest to heal.

Kakashi's body returned to normal, Yennefer's spells did not allow new scars to be added to Kakashi's body.

Even though her body no longer had scars, Yennefer was not relaxed, in fact she was even more apprehensive, when treating Kakashi she discovered the internal injuries he had.

His organs had been greatly affected by elemental energy, Kakashi had been injured a lot.

Wounds that she couldn't treat, Yennefer had never seen injuries like those on someone's organs.

She felt traces of elemental energy in Kakashi's body, which were constantly damaging his body.

Yennefer didn't know how serious these injuries were, but one thing she did know was that if they weren't treated, sooner or later, these injuries could cost Kakashi his life.

Even with all her knowledge in the field of magical healing, Yennefer couldn't think of anything she could do to treat Kakash's internal injuries.

Traces of elemental energy were still in her organs, constantly causing small injuries.

Yennefer did not know a way to draw elemental energy from a body without further damaging the host.

Her worry only increased, it seemed like every time she thought everything was fine, life came and gave her a hard blow.

Thinking of a way to solve the problem, Yennefer couldn't understand, how so much elemental energy entered Kakashi's body.

Kakashi overloaded so much of his body, using energy that he didn't quite control.

That his situation was not something easy to resolve.

His situation worsened after Kakashi forced his body to transform elemental energy into chakra.

Finally using his Kamui in that physical state, it caused his wounds to pierce through.

All these factors contributed to his body being in that terrible state.

Yennefer knew that she wouldn't be able to treat Kakashi's injuries, but she was hesitant about what was the best course of action.

'I didn't want him to be introduced to other sorceresses, I don't trust them, Kakashi is a unique person who has physical and magical abilities unlike any other, some sorcerers will want to get close to him with evil goals.

She was reluctant to take Kakashi to meet other sorceresses.

Even though Yennefer trusted Kakashi, she knew he wasn't like other men.

But the sorceresses were beautiful and seductive women.

In Yennefer's experience, even the most intelligent and powerful men could be manipulated by beautiful women.

Yennefer has seen Kings, being manipulated by their young concubines.

Wars and massacres have already occurred because of beautiful women, Yennefer knew about the power that beautiful women had over men.

Yennefer couldn't understand how such wise and powerful men would allow themselves to be manipulated, so she was afraid that some sorceress would manage to seduce Kakashi.

Looking at Kakashi in front of her, Yennefer could see his beauty that was already showing, anyone could see that Kakashi would be a beautiful man in the near future, 10 years mean nothing for a sorceress.

Kakashi looked like a child for now, but it wouldn't stop some sorceresses, some had that kind of preference, even those who weren't interested in the youngest.

They would become closer and friendlier with Kakashi and only later, when he developed physically, would they actively seduce him.

Sorceresses could easily start a relationship with him, since the only childish thing about Kakashi was his appearance, inside Kakashi was an adult and charming man.

Yennefer knew how rare men like Kakashi were, he was like a unicorn, something that few have encountered and most think only exists in legends.

Few adult men could compare to Kakashi's beauty and charm, he would be a highly coveted partner for women, Kakashi would be the perfect partner for a relationship.

Kakashi was the complete combo, he was intelligent, mature, powerful, funny and had a lightness that made everyone around him comfortable, Kakashi had an aura that made everyone around him feel safe, even when facing great dangers.

Yennefer was afraid that some woman would steal Kakashi from her, she didn't want to lose the only important person she had, Yennefer knew that at some point Kakashi would fall in love with a woman, but she would do everything to make sure that didn't happen.

But she had no other option at that moment, Yennefer knew that the longer it took to remove the elemental energy that was in Kakashi's organs, the greater the chances of making his treatment unfeasible.

If she hesitated too much and denied treatment to Kakashi because of his fears and insecurities, Yennefer knew that she could lose the only important person in her life.

She could try to find the Djin and ask him to heal him, but Yennefer didn't know when or if she could find the Djin, Kakashi was more important than her insecurities.

The blood of true dragons would also be effective, but it also had its disadvantages, it had been centuries since the last sighting of a true dragon.

Sighing internally she decides, 'I'm going to have to take Kakashi to Arentuza, my mentor is the most trustworthy sorceress at the moment'.

Yennefer didn't like this decision, however it was the safest way to treat Kakashi.

Turning to Kakashi, Yennefer decided that she wouldn't hide anything from him, she would tell him the real situation he found himself in.

"Kakashi, your external injuries are healed, but unfortunately I can't heal your organs, they are too damaged by the elemental energy."

Kakashi was confused, for him his internal injuries would heal on their own with the help of his chakra, he could feel the elemental energy in his body, but Kakashi thought he could dissipate it.

Over time he would be able to eliminate any trace of elemental energy in his organs, that's what he thought.

But he decided to trust Yennefer on this matter, since she was the magic expert of the two, as elemental energy and magic was a subject he did not master, Kakashi would faithfully follow Yennefer's words.

His expression and tone of voice showed Kakashi that his situation was not good.

"Yen, do you have any solution or plan to deal with my situation?", Kakashi spoke calmly, he wasn't afraid of dying, and he wasn't one to give in without trying.

Kakashi believed that Yennefer could heal his injuries, he believed in Yennefer's abilities, Kakashi was sure that she would do everything to save him, so he was calm about putting his life in her hands.

Yennefer nodded, but Kakashi noticed that she was not satisfied at all, "There is a possible solution, but we will have to leave tomorrow and I don't know when we will return."

"Where are we going?", Kakashi wanted to know more about this world by traveling, but he wanted to grow a little more so he could fully enjoy everything this world had to offer.

"Let's go to the magic school I went to, we're going to see my mentor she can heal you."
